Yes, this is a standard function in AutoCAD Map point import - see:

No, what i want to do is set up ACAD to automatically symbolize point nodes based on the description of the ascii file.

eg: you bring in a point called valve and ACAD automatically places a valve symbol on the node.

This function is called z-coding in Microsurvey and it is very useful. As Microsurvey is a CAD based software i am hoping this is possible in Autocad Map as well.

Do you mean symbolizing points based on their Z-coordinates or assigning Z-coordinates based on some texts (e.g. elevation label)?]]> Mon, 14 Nov 2011 10:21:39 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=6883&PID=17766&title=zcoding#17766 <![CDATA[Z-Coding : Does anyone know if ACAD Map is...]]> https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=6883&PID=17764&title=zcoding#17764 Author: Karakal

Does anyone know if ACAD Map is capable of Z-Coding, or a similar form of auto symbolizing ascii points based on description?]]> Sun, 13 Nov 2011 18:58:32 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=6883&PID=17764&title=zcoding#17764
